FIXME this can be fleshed out a lot more, perhaps with subsections

---++ Why use Linux?

   * Power - From a technical standpoint, Linux is very powerful, supporting many cutting-edge features.
   * Choice - Linux thrives on choice.  Pick the software you like, and configure it the way you want to.
   * Freedom - FreeSoftware is owned by the community -- you and me.  With Linux, we control our own destiny.
   * Customization - Since we own the code, you can change it to do what you want, or fix bugs yourself.
   * Compatability - Linux runs on many types of hardware, and plays well with other systems.
   * Security - Linux makes it easier to maintain a secure system.
   * Familiarity - If you know Unix or any of it's other derrivitives, you will be right at home with Linux.
   * Price - Linux has no license fees.  So you can't beat the price.
   * Low Maintenance - Linux is easy to maintain and automate.  So you can't beat that price, either.
